Why Choose Vine-Ripe Tomatoes?

Around 80% of the tomatoes consumed in the U.S. are "gas-green." This means they're picked green and exposed to ethylene gas to make them ripen. By the time they're shipped to chain stores, they're almost 2 weeks old! Sprouts tomatoes are picked ripe off the vine and delivered to our store the next day. Our tomatoes have a rich garden flavor to go with their homegrown appearance and texture. The only way you can get fresher tomatoes is to pick them yourself!
